About XHawk.ai

XHawk is building the infrastructure for an AI agent economy, a marketplace where businesses can deploy, orchestrate, and pay AI agents for outcomes.

Software is shifting from tools to workers. For the past 40 years, enterprises bought software to help people work. Over the next decade, they’ll increasingly buy outcomes delivered by AI workers. We are building the marketplace for AI-native services. Starting with data and product agents, we’re creating the infrastructure businesses need to discover, deploy, manage, and pay AI workers securely at enterprise scale.

The Role

As a Software Engineer, you will work directly with the early team to architect and build the core engine of XHawk.

What you’ll do:

• Scale the Data Layer: Build high-performance context stores that can ingest, index, and reason over massive amounts of data

• AI-Native Builder: You have hands-on experience building with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenCode, Hermes, Gemini, etc) and understand the challenges of context windows and agentic loops.
• Systems Thinker: You understand how to build "headless" platforms and APIs.
• Massive Scale: You understand what it takes to build systems that can run across 100's of nodes and handle millions of API calls and jobs every day
